Thanks - any reviews are welcome of course, so don't worry about 'saying everything'. Saying what you think and feel is just fine.... I'll keep it in mind, though I'm most likely not going to say anything you haven't already heard a thousand times And... ow, that must hurt. No, wait...you said he doesn't feel pain now, so scratch that ;D I love the action, the angle and the perspective in this one. The whole scene really looks...alive, I guess. I just cannot put it in better words ^^" I definitely need to add something to my English vocabulary, guys

You already know how much I love those illustrations, Slyrr, but repetition never hurt anyone. What I particualrly admire about your work is how you manage to capture the characters in the middle of action. They aren't just standing there but are actually doing something. Of course, the fact that these are fanfic illustrations helps in that regard, but the sense of plot and movement in the pictures is still admirable.
As I said before, my favourite is that one with Kim smashing Monkey Fist against the wall. The perspective really brings out the speed and force of the action. You can almost hear the smash. ;D
Your colouring is also very impressive because of your use of light and shadow. The textures you use in the background are great, too, and make the pictures look like screenshots of the series.
Yay! I can't wait.

Hanna, I ADORE the one with Monty as a kid <3 <3 <3 :] Thanks! I'm going to redraw it, and make a better version. Looking forward to it!!!! Not yet. It's for fan art and fan creations, so this is currently the best place for it, I think.

:[ Ughh, I'm really sorry, guys. I'm unbelievably busy today and tomorrow. I have a multi-paragraph compare and contrast essay to work on (from scratch) .. so that's two theses (for now) and two complete essays shoved together... and I'm confused about the topic. It sucks.. so so much. Plus, a history project... AND all my other hw and a test to study for. It's insane. But after this week, I have Spring Break, so.. I promise to get that picture done. It's a pic I've been wanting to do for a while anyways :]

It looks like Monkey Fist day turned out well. I'm impressed with the number of submissions. I'm only sorry I could not be here for this glorious day. Well definitely have to do it again next year. Maria: I am in awe of your work! It's fantastic! *giggles, claps hands and bounces up and down while sitting* More more more! I don't know which one I like the most. They're all great and the stuff you've put in the MF gallery is awesome as well. Slyrr: Wow man! You never cease to amaze me. Great stuff! But of course this is my favorite pic in the lot. Cause why? Got nothing agains Kimmy, but Monty's got that ape $h!t crazy look on his face that reduces me to a human puddle of squee every single time I see it. PengyChan: Know you're strengths. It's writing for sure. You have such a way with words that most people only dream of posessing. I finally started to read Sprit of Snow. I didn't want to turn away from it, but I had to. Wonderful stuff! Hanna: What can I say? I've always found your work to be the greatest Monkey Fist fan art I've had the pleasure to cast my eyes upon. The scrapbook pic with Monty as a child, ah I thought I'd burst into tears from the sweetness and innocence on his little face. Such curiosity and unbridled interest. Also the one of him sleeping at the table is my favorite. It reminds us that this villainous monkey man is still a man. He's evil, but he's human and he loves doing what he does and he paid a high price to chase his dreams. Great work from everybody who participated and to those who gave encouraging words. Thank you for finding this board so that we can all be together and celebrate one of the things we love most and we love it so much that we have based a friendship on it. Thank you for coming together to form such a tight fanbase. We may be few but we are proud. We may not be heard as clearly as the other fanbases but we are tenacious. We are proud. We are Monty's fangirls!

Thanks a lot ^^ I felt a bit awkward posting in this thread, since it was all about fanart. Great fanart, I might add XD
I'm glad to see you're back online, BTW - I know you've been online for a while already, but not as often as you used to ^^
Now I'm seriously tempted to make a t-shirt out of what you said ;D

THanks Pengychan! It's great to be back. I'd like to be on more often but I have to discipline myself. If I get on as much as I'd like, I'd be on here everyday all day.
Haha! It would make an awesome T-shirt for a select few. Like I said, we are few in numbers but doggone it, we know what we like!
